Tip 12:
bluejacking first up, you need to know what bluetooth is. there are lots of types of modern devices that incorporate bluetooth as one of their many features. pdas, mobile phones and laptops are a few of these modern devices. bluetooth means that bluetooth enabled devices can send things like phonebook/address book contacts, pictures & notes to other bluetooth enabled devices wirelessly over a range of about 10 metres. so, weve got past the boring part. now, using a phone with bluetooth, you can create a phonebook contact and write a message, eg. hello, youve been bluejacked, in the name field. then you can
search for other phones with bluetooth and send that phonebook contact to them. on their phone, a message will popup saying "hello, youve been bluejacked hasjust been received by bluetooth" or something along those lines. for most victims they will have no idea as to how the message appeared on their phone.

deleted! a hard-reset is like formatting a drive! it does format the memory. everything that has been installed after the first use of the phone is deleted! it will recover the memory of the phone to the state you purchased it! it is done by inputing the following code:*#7370#
note: the battery must be full or the charger has to be connected to the phone so that it does not run out of power andmake the phone unusable.
